There are lots of bugs and the person you're responding to might have a different one in mind, but this is the classic, ancient unresolved bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462156 Although in recent yea

I’m honestly not sure whether I believe these comments, or understand how to put them in context. Not for the first time I’m aware I do live in a cultural bubble, but: it’s hard for me to image anyone getting outraged by an Onion story (oth

I found the bureaucrat was a more sympathetic character than the author, and that is saying something. Part of that is because of the bits of the author's story that don't add up. It's apparently "truthy" rather tha
